"Today's
announcement is great news for Western New York, the Buffalo Bills
and all of us who call ourselves Bills fans. The Buffalo Bills are
New York state's only NFL franchise, and an integral part of the
cultural and economic identity of Western New York," said State
Sen. Patrick M. Gallivan, chairman of the Senate Committee on
Commerce, Economic Development and Small Business.

"Through
good years and bad, this community has supported its team with an
unparalleled level of passion and enthusiasm. Now the Bills
organization has stepped up with Gov. Cuomo and local leaders to
reach a stadium improvement plan and lease agreement to keep the
Bills in Buffalo while respecting taxpayer dollars."
